Chelcy10: As a dedicated catholic, I believe in one God the Father Almighty, Creator of heaven and earth and in Jesus Christ His only Son of our Lord, who was conceived by the Holy Spirit, born of the Virgin Mary, suffered under potius pilate, was crucified, dead and was buried, He descended into hell, on the third day He rose again from the dead, He ascended into Heaven, He seated at the right hand of God the Father Almighty, from there He shall come to judge the living and the dead.
I believe in the Holy Spirit, THE HOLY CATHOLIC CHURCH, the communions of saints, the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body and life everlasting. AMEN!

and that's our belief--- the CREED

dejilg: grace of Mary? Why is it that catholics dnt read the Bible nor care abt how the translation goes? The text doesn't say Mary is full of grace! It only said "she is favoured" or "favoured one" ---- with grace!

you are probably reading from the amplified bible or one of all these newer revisions with translations to suit their doctrines..

dejilg: Can u show us who dis people are and what they did in "the Bible". Since the Bible contains the deeds of the 1st Apostles!

there are lots of books written about Christ and the apostles .. more than a thousand of them..

in compiling the bible, emphasis was placed on the books that highlights the Godly nature of Christ.

FYI, The bible was compiled by gathering of christian and pagan scholars

dejilg: Oh my hearts goes out to u much. What do u know abt d History of the Catholic church and the Reformers??! Now who is d Devil fighting who?

given, the church had it dark times in the dark ages. in the times of emperors and kings and countless wars. at those times, the church became a coveted price for emperors and kings. whoever controls the church controls the world. Rome was sacked twice in her history.. burnt to the ground.. the papacy needed political alliances and you won't blame them.

that led to the corruption and darkness that swallowed the church at that time..

the reformers came.. and I dare say that these reformers had just one aim.. saying something different and making a name for themselves..

Martin Luther pasted 96 crimes of the church.. notable amongst them was the sale of indulgence.. something that happened years before Luther was born.. when Rome needed to be rebuilt after being razed down.. hence the phrase "Rome was built on the price of sin". sales of indulgence was not widely practiced in the time of Luther.

The only interesting thing Luther fought for was that the bible be made public..

then king Henry formed the Anglican church because the Pope didnt allow him divorce his wife..

the truth remains that the church had it dark times but at the time when all of the western world was in darkness.. when the only light shinning on this world of ours was coming from the east and the Arab world.

pope John Paul II apologized for the since of the ancient church. but the ancient church wasn't the just the Catholic Church.. it was all of Christendom.

To single out the church for attacks has become the protestants favorite hobby. but that not withstanding, the Catholic Church is the mother of all churches.

the bible that's always the protestants main attack weapon was actually compiled by the ancient Catholic Church.

all the christian celebrations like Christmas and Easter that protestants celebrate also is a feast instituted by the Catholic Church. or maybe someone here can show me where it's written in the bible that Christ was born on 25th December or that Easter comes on 5th Sunday of advent which is actually the Catholic churchs calendar.

to be a champion, you must have to defeat a champion. that's why the Catholic Church have become an easy target for all them protestants

let's see what becomes of okoties Church after his death.

they are all trying to say what nobody is saying for cheap popularity.. but that doesn't make it right

Wislet: So.... The Redemption plan of the Lord Jesus excluded Mary? You are all trying to say that the Lord Jesus came to die for everybody else on earth except her....cos she was without sin? Really??
Why didn't Jesus worship her then? Is there anywhere it's written He did? We'd love to know pls.
The fact that God favoured her to be the one to give birth to the Lord meant she was without sin? It meant she was soooo holy she was the only one qualified?

Is that what you think or are being taught?

She was sooo holy she was not part of the sin of Adam? She was not born of man but dropped 'hollily' from the skies?

Are YOU sure about that? Or you swallow teachings without seeking knowledge from God's word?

Not gonna argue the word with anybody...but, no one will use another person as an excuse that he was taught anything. The Bible is there for you to read for yourself, and the Holy Spirit is there to give you understanding.

Like all other descendants of Adam, she was subject to the necessity of contracting original sin. But by a special intervention of God, undertaken at the instant she was conceived, she was preserved from the stain of original sin and its consequences. She was therefore redeemed by the grace of Christ, but in a special way—by anticipation.

lari03: Its not really about judging its about applying the standard of the bible to our lives and worship. Philippians 2 talks about the name of Jesus above every other name, how did we manage to get this part: ''Holy Mary, mother of god, pray for all sinners.....'' ?

The truth is always bitter.

John 14 vs 6 is all you need.

hail Mary, full of Grace. the lord is with you. blessed are you amongst women and blessed is the fruit of your womb Jesus.. are excerpt of the visit of Angel Gabriel to the blessed virgin

holy Mary mother of God, pray for us sinners now and at the hour of our death.. is us taking advantage of the grace of Mary which the Angel proclaimed by telling her to pray for us.. (Luke 1:28)

I believe you guys don't have issues when pastor fatoyimbo will wanna introduce a young lady to a higher grace..

in the same way, we plead with the most blessed virgin to use her superior Grace in interceding for us..

understood?

nice...

at least we can experience Brasilia from the comfort of our sitting rooms

good morning house..

just heard that NYSC Timetable out

it's been quite a long time since teams with 10 points in champions league group stage were still in danger of not qualifying..

this goes to show how tough this group is

[quote author=Built2last][/quote]And there's a certain man in the middle belt called TY Danjuma that will do anything humanly possible to prevent a core Muslim northerner to become the president of this country...

and then, there's the National Conference.. another part of GEJ jigsaw

shachris: i smell conspiracy here and Jonathan Perfect scheming. let's redress a little. Have it ever occurred to you that G7 governors might be working for Jonathan, as they have nothing to lose. They are all in their 2nd terms. They've cleared the road for Oga Jona to emerge as the ultimate candidate of PDP with no tussle. They have divided the votes between APC states. And something tells me they have gone to APC to create internal problems in the party that would end up breaking the party up before 2015.

Keeping my fingers crossed though.

my thoughts exactly.. it's all a game

ckkris: Ilugun ole, there is GREAT CELEBRATION. Let's see how Amaechi will bow to Tinubu & Buhari, even if they make Amaechi a running mate to Kwankwaso.

lol.. GEJ holds all the aces.. Amaechi is GEJ'S man till forever

Truckpusher: When you change from your party doesn't mean that your followers will follow suit.

Finally Amaechi has committed his political suicide

PDP has finally infiltrated APC at the highest level ,i dey laugh

Gbam!!! Amaechi is forever on the side of the president.. watch and see APC crash like a pack of cards

obinoral: Reporting live from ekiti state university: mobilization form is out and it goes along with 500# with 2 passport. Closing date is 29th of november which is friday,

gal10: @ obayaya: you have saved me d stress of writing! I laugh at Ekwunife, politics is indeed sweet but I hope this doesn't leave a sour taste in her mouth! Mbadinuju must have groomed her well!* who understands?*

lol.. I do understand the mbadinuju grooming..

let's watch and see how far she'll go

Kingsley1000: ..just dey look

that's all we can do.. watch the drama unfold..

remember virgi etiaba? anybody?

Afam4eva: If Amaechi can do it then you can. I like this woman, she's strong.

the electoral act was amended after Amaechi's incident.. it's no longer possible

matzoro: We watched d man vote after all d controversy thereby erasing d hopes of sm ppl dat he would b disqualified, wat even happened to the other frivolious suit?
I beieve dat dis suit shld b struck out pending d outcome of d oda one and if Iyom wants she can b joined in d oda suit.


But am still waiting for official denouncement by APGA.

denouncement by APGA? That's never going to happen.. Peter Obi holds all the Aces.. that guy is too smart.. I believe they have a very strong defence but they will keep quiet and let iyom disgrace herself First..

IYOM just failed her first loyalty test and trust me, she'll be made to pay dearly for it..

politics is a game... enjoy

[quote author=Sunny_bobo]Sharp girl. Was waiting for APGA to win the election first before going to court so she can become governor without standing for election ala Amaechi's style.[/quote]that's no longer possible.. electoral act as amended stipulates that one must contest for an election and be voted for before taking up the position..

if she wins this case, the elections will be canceled.. so I believe ekwunife is acting a PDP or APC Script..

but then the woman is way too ambitious for my liking.. the death of her political career is getting close

janetDurling: D man isn't to be blamed............atleast, d woman would av knw d type of man he is. D court mustnt divorce them cos marriage is for better for worse.....LOL

so they should allow the man fucck the woman to death abi?

Tottenham is just a typical example of what happens when there's no continuity.. buying all the players in world won't make you better..

Villas-Boas is having a hard time picking the best 11 Week in week out..

Tottenham of last season wasn't this bad

the different accounts of the war from the different section of the country is the reason why I believe we need to research into war and get the real facts (not truncated Accounts to justify the actions of a particular region or people) and teach it in schools

The details of the war isn't clear to grown up Nigerians not to talk of children..

Chei.. I forgot all about this house.. I'm so sorry my loves..

how are you all doing? Abeg what's for lunch?

Happy Sunday

[quote author=Chima_Agbalajob]Your idea of let all states build what they like and develop at their own pace is not bad if resources were limitless. Unfortunately, in the real world, we have limited resources which must be used to achieve the most good. A major reason Nigeria failed to develop like Malaysia and Singapore in spite of being ahead of those countries in 1960 and having more resources than them is exactly your mindset of repeating useless projects everywhere in every hamlet,while the real things begging to be built as power plants and heavy industries are labeled "oyibo projects" > Imagine that Nigeria spent a whopping $300 billion dollars to build a useless new capital city they called Abuja, instead of building their industrial and agricultural base which would have ensured Nigeria became an industrialized world power, with very high standard of living seen in developed countries.

Imo airport was actually conceived when Nigeria had a 19 states structure and Imo was the ONLY of the 19 states without an airport. Thus, people who designed and built that airport had the current Abia state in mind as their catchment area for passengers.

Of course, Anambra is also free to build airports at Otuocha, just as someday, Adada state will build its own international cargo airport at Adani, so that they won't use the airport at Enugu or Otuocha. If you look at the distances on the map, it is less than 40km apart.If you lived in Long Island, New York, to drive to the airpot JFK its actually more than 63 kilometers trip. Yet New York state has not built another airport at Long Island,even though just their fire department budget $55 Billion dollars is almost double the entire Nigerian budget.

Believe me, i was one of those that had pressed for the completion of Oba airport or the construction of another one due to major design flaw and erosion prone area of then Oba airport. I had written Ngige when he was Governor in 2003 on the issue of Onitsha or Oba airport completion, which he totally ignored then and even made representations to Gov. Obi shortly after he won the court battle in 2006 via Prof. Chinyere Okunna on the need for an airport at Onitsha for the business community or complete the Oba airport. Then, they rightly pointed out that one was soon to be constructed at Asaba and which could serve the Onitsha community if it happened soon, which will save the Anambra meager resources to be deployed into saving the other sectors of the state which had entirely collapsed then. True to that prediction,Asaba airport project was flagged off and constructed within a reasonable period by the wealthier Delta state. Thus, all the pressure groups doing battle with big transporters who had frustrated any airport project around Onitsha rested our case.

Therefore, in my opinion, an another airport in Onitsha isn't an economic priority right now. What Anambra should focus on is how to complete the refinery at Otuocha,build the IPP planned there, and make sure the IPP generates enough power at least 1000MW to serve Anambra and neighboring states. Willie Obiano spoke like a true wise man who understood what had to be done when he made 4 critical areas of need his 4 point agenda of development to improve commerce,oil,gas & power, agriculture and transport modernization. Anambra must build a monorail transport system to connect Onitsha main market to outer fringes of the town such as Nkpo, Awada,Omaba, and even up to Oba to nnewi.Kano,Lagos and Onitsha were 3 cities in Nigeria recommended for a monorail system in 1986, which the FG never built. Since the concerned states such as Lagos are now building such modern transport infrastructure without FG support, Anambra must find money to build it without depending on FG to do it.

Again, the SE governments should liaise and build light railway lines to connect Onitsha,Abakaliki and Owerri to the PH to Enugu railway line. The vision should be to make it possible to transport yams,rice etc by rail from Abakaliki to Onitsha and onto Aba and pick up industrial goods from Aba back to Abakaliki, without ever riding on roads.This is easily achievable especially with the small landmass of the SE if we had rulers in the SE who thought outside the box and outside the this is my village,my LGA or my state mentality.These would make transportation and movement of goods from markets within the zone cheap and easy. Now if they claim they don't have the money to build all these critical infrastructure necessary for the future and true industrial take off of the zone, why should they waste the little resources they have to embark on repetition of ego projects like airport everywhere just to compete with the ones in nearby states?[/quote]and here's the most meaningful contribution on this thread...


thank you sir

Onlytruth: I personally think that the governors (Anambra's for example) are ALREADY getting enough funds to pursue some of the projects of transformation.
The problem is that some of them are determined to steal and pull the whool over our eyes.
I would take ONE INTERNATIONAL CLASS research hospital sited in Anambra state to all these minor patches of old hospitals which are still left without transformative equipment. That hospital will create thousands of jobs and even form indirect partnership with other hospitals to feed it of patients who need "overseas treatment". Patients can come from other African countries too. Enugu international airport is there now, so the hospital can be sited in Anambra state and equipped with a helipad to airlift patients to the international airport whenever necessary.

I read somewhere that Anambra state got up to 2 Trillion Nairaland in the 8 years of Obi's leadership. That is a lot of money.

I strongly believe that HUB BUSINESSES are the key to economic transformation of states and regions.

FG published that governor Amaechi of rivers state have gotten 1.2 trillion so far from the federation Account.. that's 6 yrs.. how's it possible Peter Obi got 3 trillion in 8 yrs..

Guy use your head Na.. anambra gets roughly 3 billion a month that's 36 billion a year.. that's 288 Billion in 8 years.

I have just one question?

who's Dino?

what's his occupation?

how good is he at this his occupation?

until someone answers these questions, no body should ask me about anti corruption Crusade by this man.

you can't just wake up one day and become an anti corruption crusader..

kwangi: The keyword here is context.
In what context are we appreciating this video and the surgery?
This is a people whom the rest of the world deems sub-human with corresponding intelligence. A people whom they claim has little contribution to the world and it's progress.
These claims has been reinforced to the extent that the people themselves believe it, even though a lot of us know them to be hateful lies.

Of course that art has probably been in existence for millennia, meaning we knew of these thing and more as opposed to the lies been peddled around the world about Africa.

Now we are not reading about it but actually seeing it being done, even though it's not news to me and a whole lot of other people, I believe.

It is in this context that the video is been appreciated/hailed, whatever you feel like calling it.

Despite these, "the people" still found a way to ridicule themselves!
To what extent can one be subjugated so that when you tell him he's scum he actually believes it?
Story of the African people.

context is everything my dear...

this is the most reasonable comment here..

if this were some European, I'm sure "the people" will hail it as a major contribution to the development of surgery..

but since it's Africa, all our Nairaland surgeons who I'm sure they don't have 96% success rate in their surgeries with all the modern equipments and technology will be so quick to condemn it..

mediocre hypocrites

16k can buy that guy 3 wheel barrows.. he can loan out to young men for 100-200 per day.. in a months time, he Will have enough money to buy a new one... and in one year he can own a fleet of wheel barrows which he can sell and purchase a keke or a bike.. and business continues..

oh I forgot.. this is Nigeria where we despise humble beginnings
